Chapter 18

Little White found his brother, who was actually Little Black, which overjoyed him. Little Black’s persistence eventually paid off, similar to the old saying: If you can wait for the clouds to fall apart, you will obtain the bright moonlight. Xu Dian’s mindset also returned to normal. Everything worked out in the end. Naturally, it was worth celebrating.

Just like his classic extravagance style, Chang Mu bought a set of luxurious speakers and placed them in the living room. They were ready to celebrate in the evening! A lot of food also was brought, which stuffed the refrigerator and filled the kitchen. As the payer, Chang Mu naturally ordered everyone to prepare a massive feast, and he went to watch TV. This guy claimed he was a thousand-year-old old man. However, some of his behaviors were still like a child, which made Xu Dian a little ashamed.

Xu Dian could only reach the sink by standing on a stool. Among all the adults working in the kitchen, he was the smallest one. The scene seemed like people were abusing this little child by making him do laborious work. Although everyone told him there was no need for him to work, he repeatedly reiterated that he was not a baby and insisted on staying there to help, which could be regarded as an atonement for Chang Mu. Seeing how little he was – seriously washing the vegetables with his apron on and his fat little hands breaking the leaves of the vegetables one by one – and how solemn his expression was. Everyone thought he was too adorable. Fortunately, he was inherently a serious and unsmiling person. Except for Chang Mu, no one dared to go up and pinch him.

The judge was in charge of the seafood and found several good abalones among them. He leaned to Xu Dian and secretly asked: “Have you seen how much money Mu-er has in his passbook?”

“What’s a passbook?”

“It’s the small book in his hand when he took you to the bank to collect the money during the day! What’s the amount on it?”

“I didn’t understand them. Mu-er said it is a number invented by Arabs. I’ll be able to comprehend them once I get to primary school. Hmm… In short, there are a lot of circles on it. He said that this book is enough for me and him to use as pocket money and spend for a lifetime.”

‘Such a money bag! During the long years that the boy accompanied Xu Dian, he specialized in collecting and selling antiques. It has been heard that in recent months, he sold the earliest ceramic urinals that he had used in the past, and it has been sold for hundreds of thousands! He must be lucrative. Now both of them don’t have to go back to the Underworld to work. Heh, Xu Dian is so lucky!’ Pan Pan sighed with admiration.

“Oh, a young female teacher and her child. Such tenants are very safe. Son, you are so smart. The family expenses are too much. It’s a good way to rent for others to make some money.”

“Uh… No. These two are friends of godfather, and they are also friends of Little White.  I am too shy to accept money from them.” In fact, Cang Qiong was still very clear that Chang Mu wouldn’t pay such an expensive rent. “Oh! Speaking of which, Cang Sheng, the real ancestor of our Cang family, is back.”

“Ah? Really?” Father Cang’s voice turned extremely surprised.

“Hmm. Not a fake one.”

“Then I have to come back quickly to meet the ancestor!” His father expressed, suddenly wanting to return home as swift as a flying arrow.

“No need to be in such a hurry!” In fact, the ancestor was just that silly Little Black.

“How can’t I be in a hurry?! You are an ignorant child and have no money. What if you don’t treat our ancestor well? Of course, I have to come back quickly!”

“Whatever.” In short, if Dad would come home, which meant the money bag would be back.

As the night got darker, everyone was tired of singing and huddled lazily on the sofa. The snacks on the ground were piled up like little mountains. Everyone was happily eating and chatting freely. Only King Yama surreptitiously read the official documents hidden in his clothes when he saw Pan Pan wasn’t paying attention. He thought that he could bear the pressure of work alone, balancing his career and family at the same time, and should be regarded as a typical good man in the new era. But he didn’t know that Pan Pan also took advantage of the interim of the party and went to the kitchen pouring water to address several application reports. No one wanted to spoil the fun tonight because of work.

Little White touched the small mirror and looked at himself. There was one unfinished business in his heart, which he had told Pan Pan a long time ago. Every time Little Black saw Xu Dian, he felt guilty; and when he saw Pan Pan, he also felt guilty. In fact, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t miss the piece of “Ji Yao”. Seeing Xu Dian and Chang Mu so happy, it was impossible not to have any extravagant hopes. Every time Xu Dian looked up to Chang Mu, he felt pressured and didn’t know when he would grow up. Pan Pan said Xu Dian’s name wasn’t on the list of names of the celestial spirit realm, and the latest regulation stipulated that a new body shall not be created. Now, Xu Dian could only wait with patience for his current body to grow up. So tonight, the only person who didn’t have any worries was Chang Mu.  

Chang Mu shook the drink in the cup, got up, and took a short walk.

“What a life!” After exclaiming, he opened the curtains and wanted to see the bewitching stars in the sky, but found a pair of large rubies outside the window, exuding a strange light, which seemed to be of great value …

“Boy, we meet again…” A horrible hoarse voice gloomily penetrated through the glass window.

“Hua– Hua Ling?” Chang Mu’s eyes widened and his eyebrows were raised high. These two rubies turned out to be the eyes of Hua Ling! ‘Why does this snake keep haunting us? Shouldn’t it be time to ask Cang Qiong to do a soul relief ritual for him, or have Little Black be more professional in this kind of stuff…’

“It’s time to settle our feud, right?”

“I haven’t seen you for so long. You’re getting more and more handsome… I don’t even recognize you, hehe…” Chang Mu turned his head and asked in a low voice, “Why are there always some troubles during leisure time? Today’s festive occasion is ruined.”

“Stop talking nonsense! What I am after is your life!” As Hua Ling shouted out, the glass windows in the living room shattered. The demonic wind passed through like a typhoon, and the tables and chairs in the living room were turned upside down!

“What the heck?!” As the files were blown away, King Yama became angry and shouted loudly. Pan Pan saw the situation and hurriedly opened a massive barrier to cover the house.

Everyone was definitely an elite of the Underworld. They promptly entered into a battle state. However, the space in the house was limited; they should shift to another battlefield. Pan Pan hurriedly opened the door to the Underworld and shouted at Chang Mu, “Mu-er, lead it to the Underworld!”

“Got it!”

Cang Qiong and Kong Kong had fallen asleep for a long time. When they heard a loud bang, they jumped reflexively and turned on the lights. However, the power supply seemed to be malfunctioning. Moreover, the movement downstairs also disappeared in an instant. They called their godfather, but he didn’t reply. They called the ancestor, but no response.

‘What happened?’ Cang Qiong called out a few pinches of ghost fire and checked the fuse with Kong Kong. Sure enough, the fuse was broken. Fortunately, there was a toolbox next to him. Cang Qiong addressed the issue in a few minutes. After he turned on the switch, the room was bright again. But he saw the mess in the living room…

The windows were all broken, the curtains were torn into rags, the tables and chairs became rotten wood, the TV speakers were broken, and the ground was covered with broken glasses and rubbish; they couldn’t take a step. Even if someone were to break into the room and rob it, it wouldn’t be this tragic!

“Where is everyone?! Who made my house like this?!” When Cang Qiong roared, he looked somewhat similar to King Yama.

Kong Kong was so distressed that he bent down and carefully picked up the plums scattered on the ground. They didn’t seem dirty, he wiped them and put them into the pocket of his pajamas.

The door to the Underworld shook with a “squeak” as if to imply the whereabouts of the culprit… ‘Those dead ghosts! Turning the house into like this! What should I tell my father when he returns three days later?!’ Cang Qiong resisted his anger, pulled out his baseball bat, and briskly rushed down!

“Qiong Qiong, where are you going?”

“Go down to get even with those dead ghosts!”

“Oh. I’m going with you!” Kong Kong also followed his sweetie walking to the Underworld.

.

The Underworld was located at the end of the stairs of the Cang’s residence.

A group of ghosts crowded around and watched the scene of Black and White Impermanence fighting together with a humongous, patterned snake. The weapons in their hands were just tools used to point at the fighters while watching the ‘show’. They could only participate as spectators since their ordinary weapons had no effect on this enormous snake. The chief commentators of the battle – Ox Head and Horse Face – were using their spiked clubs as microphones. They mentioned yesterday that they expected to see a good fight of Black and White Impermanence, and now they had the chance to be satisfied with the feast.

“Who do you think is the strongest?”

“It’s hard to tell… But now Master Xu is too short, whether it’s a punch or a kick, he has no advantage.”

“Stupid! Master Xu originally liked to use his psychic power, so it doesn’t matter if his legs are shorter now.”

“That’s true. Lord Chang seems to be not as skillful as before.”

“You have to take into account that he hasn’t used martial arts for many years. It’s normal to be a little rusty. “

“Master Black seems to be particularly agile today.”

“Um..um!”

Just as they were talking, Little Black transformed into a heron the same size as Hua Ling and fought with him. Waterbirds were the natural enemies of snakes, so Hua Ling soon became significantly weaker in momentum. Such an astonishing performance of Master Black made everyone look at him with admiration.

Ox Head exclaimed: “I thought Master Black could turn into a black crow at most. I didn’t expect that he could turn into a white heron.”

“This incident teaches us that a person should not be judged by their appearance.”

“He’s not a person.”

“Why is he not a person? Immortals are also people.”

“…”

King Yama stood among the group of ghosts with confidence and stared at these four. In terms of strength, they were good enough to defeat that snake.

Pan Pan brought a pesticide sprayer, put on a mask, filled it with sulfur solvent, and fiercely sprayed it at Hua Ling. But the snake’s neck was raised too high to be sprayed. Instead, the four Impermanences incessantly started coughing. The putrid smell also drove away a whole bunch of ghosts.

Chang Mu immediately picked up Xu Dian and let him sit on his shoulders. ‘What the hell is this dead judge doing?! This snake originally had a strange physique which was between a spiritual body and a real body. No matter how you fight with him, the techniques don’t work on him. Now, Pan Pan assisted him! Damn it!’

Chang Mu secretly decided to escape temporarily with his Little Ma, and Little Black planned to fly away with Little White, because the smell was really… At this moment, two figures rushed down the stairs in a hurry!

“Who messed up my living room?!”

It would be better if someone stepped in! The four Impermanences quickly pointed to Hua Ling and responded in unison: “Him.” Of course, Little Black gestured with his wings.

King Yama saw his son was here. He thought about whether he should join the fight and show off in battle. After making up his mind, he took out a camera and handed it to Horse Face: “Film the scene for me.”

Hua Ling was stunned when he heard such an angry voice and turned his head to look at the two unfamiliar faces on the stairs.

As soon as Kong Kong saw Hua Ling, he exclaimed greedily, “Oh my God, such a gigantic snake! If it were made into salt and pepper snake strips, I don’t know how many pots it would take!”

Cang Qiong lightly tapped Kong Kong’s head with a stick, “What are you thinking? This snake is covered in sores, it’s disgusting, and you still have an appetite?” He suddenly thought of something and smiled at his baby. “Besides, the state stipulates that it is prohibited to eat wild animals. If you want to eat salt and pepper snake strips, I can take you to the restaurant to eat farmed snakes.”

Hua Ling’s eyes turned wide and his tail thumped violently in anger. He grinned and snorted at him.

Cang Qiong turned his head and pinched his nose in disgust, “Tsk tsk… rhubarb teeth, bad breath, receding gums, exposed roots, and plaque. You mustn’t have brushed your teeth.”

Seeing this young man so arrogant and vicious, Hua Ling rushed towards him. King Yama took it as a good opportunity and shouted: “Get out of the way!” The great father’s love was about to be staged. With a sweep of his tail, Hang Ling stopped and stared intently at Cang Qiong and Kong Kong. King Yama was swept out by the snake’s tail, slammed into the wall, and slid softly…

Hua Ling didn’t feel that something had hit him, just observed the two children up close with strange eyes. Was he looking at Kong Kong? Or looking at Cang Qiong?

But Cang Qiong didn’t like being stared at by monsters, and he didn’t like his baby being stared at by ugly monsters either. So he swung his bat, hitting Hua Ling’s hard head. “What are you looking at?”

But at that moment, a burst of smoke suddenly appeared, followed by a reverberating bang! And Hua Ling disappeared. The evil presence also dissipated.

“Why did it disappear again?” Little Black changed back to human form and landed behind Little White.

“There must be something else.” The last time the evil presence instantly disappeared, they thought he retracted into another world, but this time… Little White frowned and stared seriously at Cang Qiong.

In fact, everyone was more or less aware of the situation so they kept their mouths shut and watched Cang Qiong.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about Cang Qiong. He looked at the baseball bat in his hand and waved it twice, feeling nothing out of the ordinary, he just helplessly shrugged.

King Yama quietly got up from the ground. He hoped that everyone had their eyes closed due to the brimstone that Pan Pan had sprayed so that no one had paid attention to that embarrassing scene. But Horse Face fawnly ran forward, holding the camera in his hand: “Boss, I have captured your heroic appearance just now.”

When King Yama replayed it, it just recorded the scene where he was swept away by Hua Ling’s tail. He immediately deleted it, turned off the power, and stuffed it into his sleeve. He scolded coldly, “Stupid!”

“Boss…what did I do wrong? What are you doing? You can’t scold me like this… woo woo woo…” In fact, Horse Face couldn’t see what was happening in the sulfur smoke at all, he just held the camera high to shoot.

.

After a few hours, it was dawn.

Everyone was busy cleaning up the living room of the Cang family. Chang Mu went to the furniture store to purchase furniture and electrical appliances with Xu Dian, as compensation.  

Kong Kong was busy picking up garbage, and Cang Qiong was also working very hard. Little White, Little Black, and Pan Pan wiped the floor and looked up at Cang Qiong for a while. Even when they installed a glass window, they also turned to look at Cang Qiong. Today, Cang Qiong compromised with Kong Kong in everything, he didn’t stop Kong Kong from picking up plum candy from the garbage, and he even helped him pick it up. That was so strange! So strange! No matter how much Hua Ling tried to conceal it, the clues have already begun to reveal themselves. 

Little White cleaned out the last piece of glass, secretly called Chang Mu with his walkie-talkie: “Senior Mu-er, how is your situation?”

“Good. Ready to open the enchantment at any time.” This was Xu Dian’s voice, the two were on the roof, on guard.

“What about Senior Mu-er?”

“He is listening to the stock market by the side. He said there are two stocks that need to be sold immediately, otherwise, he will lose money.”

“…”

Pan Pan saw Cang Qiong and Kong Kong go out, carrying large garbage bags, so he opened the door and asked King Yama, who was preparing an ambush below: “How is it? Are you ready?”

“All ready.”

“If things go bad later, don’t force it.”

“I know, that’s my son, and I won’t hurt him.”

Little Black suddenly appeared in an unhappy tone, “He is not your son, but my 33rd generation great-grandson.”

“You don’t even have a wife, where did you get your great-grandson?!”

“Do you have a wife?”

“I– I have Qing Qing. He can create souls.”

“Then I also have Little White. If you have the ability to change Cang Qiong’s name to Jiang Qiong, I will give up this great-grandson. Otherwise, you have to give up.”

Little Black’s quibble ability suddenly increased, and King Yama was caught off guard. He stayed there dumbfounded. Little White applauded by the side.

Pan Pan laughed and comforted King Yama: “Let it go. Little Black is not stupid anymore, just stop arguing with him.” The implication was: You are the stupidest now.

Not long after, Kong Kong and Cang Qiong returned from dumping the garbage. The sun was shining brightly, and Kong Kong smiled brightly too. He didn’t notice anything wrong with his sweetie at all.

Cang Qiong gently asked Kong Kong, “Are you happy now?”

“Yes! Yes! You have asked me several times today. Why do you keep asking me?”

“Hehe… I just want to confirm it again and again.”

“Cang Qiong, with you by my side, I’m the happiest person in the world, whether I’m a human or a ghost!”

“They are here!” Pan Pan pushed King Yama and told him to withdraw. He greeted them with a fake smile, “Qiang Qiong, back already?”

Cang Qiong raised his eyebrows and pointed to the ceiling. “Let the little bastard of Chang come down from the roof. I have something to tell him.”

“What?” Pan Pan was shocked. ‘Is he really going to reveal his own identity now?’

“You already knew that I had attached myself to Cang Qiong’s body, didn’t you?” Cang Qiong folded his arms around his chest, showing a lame attitude.

“Yes, yes… I’m going to call Chang Mu. Don’t hurt Cang Qiong.” Pan Pan had no choice but to call Chang Mu down.

But Kong Kong was nervous, “What?! Then, who are you?”

“My name is Hua Ling. I am that big snake.”

“Why did you attach yourself to my Qiong Qiong’s body? Hurry up and go away!”

Cang Qiong touched Kong Kong’s hair, “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt him. I’ll leave in a while.”

It seemed that Hua Ling had a special relationship with Kong Kong.

Then, Chang Mu came. Xu Dian followed behind him. 

Cang Qiong and Chang Mu looked at each other for a second, and both showed disgruntled expressions.

“What do you want?” Chang Mu said first.

Cang Qiong didn’t say anything. His eyes skimmed the room and saw a bucket of dirty water for mopping the floor. With a swipe of his finger, Chang Mu was dumped from head to toe with a bucket of filthy sewage, a plastic bucket spinning on his head. Xu Dian quickly dodged, and not a drop of water was spilled on him.

“Okay, the old feud between you and me is over.” Cang Qiong seemed quite pleased.

“What the hell do you mean?!”

“Nothing. Honestly, while I was imprisoned in that tight space in the ice reed marsh for hundreds of years, my consciousness has always been awake. I’ve thought a lot. Moreover, the ice reeds there also sucked out the evil in my heart. I no longer go crazy or need to absorb a soul to control my mind. On the contrary, my mana has considerably improved, and my mentality has become more mature.”

Everyone looked at the filthy water from the bucket on Chang Mu’s head with doubt: ‘Became more mature, you say?’

Cang Qiong continued: “But the dark resentment in my heart has never been vented. I originally came here to seek revenge on you, but maybe it’s fate that I see that Ah Wu* is living a happy life now. I am content, and the resentment in my heart disappeared.”

*Ah Wu is Hua Ling’s friend. Hua Ling had a grudge against Chang Mu because in the author’s other work, Chang Mu’s family sacrificed Ah Wu’s life in order to save Chang Mu’s. 

“Ah Wu?” Chang Mu excitedly took off the plastic bucket on his head and looked at the only person at the scene who might be the reincarnation of Ah Wu – Kong Kong. Ah Wu, who was initially taken by Hu You as a scapegoat, has become the Kong Kong in front of him after several lifetimes of reincarnation! This was too coincidental, wasn’t it?!

Pan Pan couldn’t help muttering, “This is more dramatic than the love script written by Brother Guang in the Moon Palace.”

Everyone was astonished. Only Kong Kong looked at everyone innocently, blinking his big eyes, he was so confused. What Qiong Qiong has said was correct that he needed to listen and learn more. Now in this awkward atmosphere, he felt like an idiot. He asked timidly, “Mr. Big Snake, you… can you leave Qiong Qiong’s body?”

“Oh, yes. If you can help me find a new body then I’ll go. Also, just call me Hua Ling, you used to call me Hua Hua.” Cang Qiong smiled affectionately which caused everyone to have goosebumps.

Pan Pan was the first to figure out the situation and asked fawnly, “May I ask what kind of body Big Master Hua wants?”

“I still prefer snakes. Help me find a massive, majestic, and handsome snake! Thank you!” Cang Qiong sat on the sofa with legs crossed 

They didn’t have another choice. Everyone formed into a group and discussed it for a while, and then all went out to find the snake.

King Yama and Pan Pan worked the hardest. This pair of hubbies drove out in their luxury car and returned in less than a quarter of an hour with a handsome two-headed snake.

Cang Qiong looked at this rare two-headed snake with disinterest, slowly spitting out a word: “No.”

“Why? Isn’t it very handsome and majestic?!” King Yama didn’t understand.

“It’s a conjoined twin, what a freak. I don’t want it.”

“…”

Pan Pan took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Half an hour later, Chang Mu came back with an iron cage and a fleshy grass python inside it. He was greatly displeased and threw it in front of Cang Qiong, saying furiously: “Here! The largest python in a five-star hotel.”

Cang Qiong just glanced at it and said, “No.”

“Why?! I bought it for a thousand yuan!” Chang Mu really wanted to rush up and grab him by the collar and beat him hard!

“This one is female. I’m male.”

Chang Mu’s face began to twitch intermittently. He turned his head to ask Pan Pan, “How do snakes distinguish between male and female?”

Pan Pan continued to wipe out his sweat with the handkerchief,  “This–this… mainly depends on the body shape…”

After another half an hour, Little Black and Little White came back. With a bird’s basic  instinct, Little Black caught an outstanding flower python, with a white and shiny abdomen and colorful patterns on the back. It was three or four meters long, had silver pupils and healthy teeth without plaque.

“Where did you find it?” Pan Pan asked.

“I ran over a few other worlds and found it.” Little Black felt a sense of accomplishment.

Hua Ling was also very satisfied, quietly left Cang Qiong’s body, and went into the body of the flower python. He stuck out his tongue, twisting his waist, “Yes, that’s it!”

Kong Kong threw himself into Cang Qiong’s arms and asked, “Qiong Qiong, are you okay?”

Cang Qiong stretched lazily, touched his baby’s hair, and said, “Don’t worry. I was just curious about the relationship between Hua Ling and Ah Wu, so I lurked in his mind and peeped.”

It turned out to be so, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Cang Qiong turned to look at Hua Ling with a smile, and said, “You plan to stay by my Kong Kong’s side to protect him forever, right? Then you must accept the fact that I am also your master.”

Hua Ling stuck out his tongue and squinted his eyes, “Young man, you’re quite powerful.”

“Let us have a deal.” Cang Qiong touched the snake’s head, “From now on, you are the retainer of our Cang family.”

When Cang Qiong’s hand left Hua Ling’s head, the mark of the Cang family was left on his forehead.

“Okay, it’s none of my business, right? I’m going to take a shower.” Chang Mu turned upstairs with dirty water all over his body, and stumbled abruptly before he could take another step… Everyone saw Hua Ling quickly withdraw his long tail, crawled up the sofa, coiled beside Kong Kong, stuck out his tongue, shook his tail proudly like a rattlesnake, and said brazenly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do it.”

Chang Mu lay on the ground for a long time, repeated “Ah Wu” over a dozen times, then slowly got up, turned back, and faced the dead fat snake again. Imitating Pan Pan’s harmless smile, he blinked his eyes and said, “It doesn’t matter, really. I don’t mind at all.”

It seemed like the relationship among this family was getting more and more complicated…

When everyone dispersed, Pan Pan secretly asked his dear godson, “What is the relationship between Hua Ling and Ah Wu?”

“Secret.” Cang Qiong gave a wicked smile.

“You don’t even want to tell your godfather?”

“Nope.”

“You bastard! I’ve raised you for nothing!”

So, from today, Hua Ling became the retainer of the Cang family, and Cang Qiong gave him the nickname – pocketmoney (in english).
